Chapter 314: A Tragic Fate
Qi Yuzhu, formerly known as Qi Meiyu, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, is 16 years old this year. The rule of the Ming Dynasty is to be two years old, so Qi Meiyu is only fourteen years old this year. In later generations, she was still a junior high school student who had just entered junior high school, but in the Ming Dynasty, she was already an adult woman.
Qi Meiyu's father is Qi Biaojia, the Qi family has been an official eunuch for many generations, Qi Biaojia's son Qi Chengjiao is a Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Wanli, and the official went to Jiangxi to participate in politics.
Qi Meiyu was born in this kind of family, she received a good education when she was a child, and at the same time, Qi Meiyu was promised to her father's friend of the same year at the age of twelve, and the two families agreed to prepare to marry Qi Meiyu when she became an adult.
Qi Meiyu grew up in her longing for her husband in this way, fantasizing that one day her prince charming would appear in front of her to marry her, and then give birth to children for her husband. But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is skinny. Soon after the two families got engaged, news came from the north that Beijing had been attacked by the Liukou and that Emperor Chongzhen had hanged himself on the coal mountain.
Two months later, Zhu Yousong was in charge of the country in Nanjing, and although Qi Meiyu's father was a member of the Donglin Party, he actively supported Zhu Yousong's ascension, so he was promoted to governor of Jiangnan because of his merits.
The country is broken, and his father wants to go out to lead the troops to fight, Qi Meiyu's marriage is delayed like this, Qi Meiyu, a weak woman, has no power to resist fate, he can only secretly bless his father safe and sound.
But after all, Qi Biaojia and Ma Shiying and other eunuchs are not from the same background, so it is natural to be retaliated against by political enemies, in March of the first year of Hongguang, Qi Biaojia was finally caught by Zhang Sunzhen, and he could only return home without being dismissed. Seeing his father come back safely, Qi Meiyu was very happy, and then he thought that his father could finally consider his marriage.
Qi Biaojia's political situation is not smooth, how can he have the heart to think about his daughter? At the same time, Nanjing was besieged by 400,000 Manchu troops two months later, and it is estimated that it will not be able to hold it. At this time, some people of insight in Nanzhili were ready to support King Lu to ascend the throne in Hangzhou, because Qi Biaojia had the highest prestige and status, and at the same time was also a protΓ©gΓ© of Huang Daozhou, so King Lu issued an order to restore Qi Biaojia as the governor of Susong.
After Qi Biaojia received the holy decree of King Lu, he immediately went to Hangzhou. Qi Meiyu thought that she didn't know when she would be able to see her father this time, but she didn't expect that in only one year, Nanjing was oversieged, and at the same time, there was news that Ma Cheng broke 400,000 with 10,000.
Qi Meiyu is not a housewife who does not understand literature and ink, she is full of poetry and books, although she is not as knowledgeable as Qi Biaojia, but it is more than enough to take a show. Qi Meiyu knew that those who could win more with less in history were all famous generals, and at this time Qi Meiyu began to be interested in Ma Cheng.
However, Qi Meiyu knew that she was just an ordinary woman, and her status with Ma Cheng was too different, and it was estimated that she would not see Ma Cheng until she died. But the world is unpredictable, Qi Biaojia was captured by Ma Cheng in the first battle of Lucheng, but Ma Cheng did not kill Qi Biaojia, which made Qi Meiyu have a slight good impression of this god of war Ma Cheng in her heart.
Next, Qi Biaojia was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan by Emperor Shaowu, and Qi Meiyu followed her father to Suzhou. A year in Suzhou is the happiest year for Qi Meiyu, Suzhou is a big city, much more prosperous than Shaoxing, and at the same time, her father has promised her that she will marry her husband after the New Year, and Qi Meiyu is immersed in joy at this time.
On the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Shaowu, the emperor got married, and Qi Biaojia also went to Beijing to watch the ceremony, but who would have thought that the original
An ordinary wedding can turn into a tragedy, Qi Biaojia was killed by Ma Cheng on the spot in the Qianqing Palace, Qi Biaojia's family members were also convicted, Qi Meiyu's two adult brothers were beheaded, Qi Meiyu and her mother-in-law Yang, and a minor sister Qi Meijia were sent to teach the workshop as slaves.
Qi Meiyu's mother, Yang, hanged herself in the first month of entering the Department of Education because she couldn't stand the insults of prostitutes, leaving only Qi Meiyu and her ten-year-old sister Qi Meijia.
Because Qi Meiyu was a virgin, she did not accompany the guest immediately, but was forced to learn some methods of serving men. Qi Meiyu quickly stood out among many prostitutes because of Bing Xue's intelligence and literacy, and became the most outstanding one, and at the same time, He's mother gave Qi Meiyu a flower name, Qi Yuzhu.
Today is the first time Qi Meiyu participated in the Oiran election, this is the most beautiful day for the prostitutes of the Jiaofang Division, they will become the focus, but after this day, Qi Meiyu lost her virginity and lost her glory, a few years later, Qi Meiyu Lao Zhuhuang is old, either sent to the Huanyi room to wash clothes, or become the wife of a turtle slave in the Jiaofang Division, and the children born to the two are happy all their lives, and there is no possibility of turning over.
Qi Meiyu saw that Ma Erye spent two thousand taels of silver for herself to make herself an Oiran, but Qi Meiyu was not happy at all, so she could only follow the turtle slave to Ma Erye's room, ready to sacrifice her first time.
Qi Meiyu walked into the house and saw Second Master Ma sitting in the room drinking tea, Qi Meiyu bowed and saluted, and then said: "Slave Qi Yuzhu, I've seen Second Master Ma!" β
Ma Cheng looked at Qi Yuzhu in front of him with interest, this woman probably didn't know that she was his father's killer, but Ma Cheng's favorite thing was humiliation, and it was really boring to play with dead fish.
"Qi Yuzhu, what's your maiden name?"
The name of a woman in the Ming Dynasty can only be said to the man she is close to, Qi Meiyu heard Ma Cheng ask, her face turned red, but she immediately remembered that she was just a prostitute, what kind of face do you need?
"The slave family used to be called Qi Meiyu, and Mother He gave the slave family the nickname Yuzhu!"
"Qi Meiyu? Yes, your father is Qi Biaojia, right? β
When Qi Meiyu heard her father's name, she couldn't control her feelings anymore, her eyes were teary and she nodded and said, "The biological father of the slave family is Qi Biaojia!" β
Ma Cheng stood up and came to Qi Meiyu's side, looked left and right, and then said with a smile: "Do you know who I am?" β
"You are Second Master Ma!"
"Yes, this company is the second, so it's right to call this father the second master of Ma! However, this father prefers to be called Ma Cheng, the prince of Zhenguo! β
Ma Cheng's words sounded in Qi Meiyu's ears like thunder, the man in front of him was his father-killing enemy, and he was also the god of war, Ma Cheng, the prince of Zhenguo!
Qi Meiyu looked at the smiling man in front of her, thinking that her father was killed by him with his own hands, her two brothers were also killed, her mother Yang hanged herself in humiliation, and she and her minor sister became the lowest prostitute in the teaching department, thinking that Qi Meiyu could no longer control her anger, and pointed at Ma Cheng and scolded: "It turns out that you are a horse thief, and the slave family fights with you!" β
After Qi Meiyu finished speaking, she rushed up and was about to fight with Ma Cheng, but where was Ma Cheng's opponent with a woman with small feet, and she was slapped to the ground by Ma Cheng.
Ma Cheng came to Qi Meiyu and said with a smile: "Your dead ghost Lao Tzu Qi Biaojia broke my head back then, and now Lao Tzu is going to make up for it from you!" β
After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he stripped Qi Meiyu with his hands up and down, and insulted Qi Meiyu on the floor.
Qi Meiyu saw that she was powerless, and she was humiliated by the enemy who killed her father, and she fainted to death many times, but where does Ma Cheng care about you, in addition to the normal Dunlun, even Gu Dao came once.
Ma Cheng, who was satisfied, got up and got dressed, Qi Meiyu was just a plaything to him, and he could throw it away after playing. Ma Cheng got dressed and went out of the door, and Zhang Erpei at the door saw that Ma Cheng had a good complexion, and hurriedly asked, "Second master, is this beauty still hearty?" β
Ma Cheng nodded: "It's not bad, my father is tired today, Zhang Erpei, don't forget about this bus on your behalf!" After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he went home with two guards.
After Zhang Erpei waited for Ma Cheng to leave, he went into the house to take a look at Qi Meiyu, and saw Qi Meiyu's bruises all over his body bitten by Ma Cheng, and couldn't help but secretly scold Ma Cheng for being perverted, but how to arrange Qi Meiyu made Zhang Erpei embarrassed.
If you follow the ordinary Oiran of the Teaching Workshop Division, what should you do after you are done, but Ma Cheng said it was not bad just now, who knows if Ma Cheng will be able to come to visit Qi Meiyu again in the future, thinking of Ma Cheng's means and Pei broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that no matter what, he would leave Qi Meiyu behind, so as to prevent Ma Cheng from blaming himself in the future.
Zhang Erpei called He Lao Bustard over and asked, "Mother He, you prepare a small courtyard and let this Qi Yuzhu live alone, don't let her pick up guests!" β
He Lao Bustard stopped doing it when he heard this, this is an oiran, and he can still make money for himself for a few years.
"Master Zhang, this Qi Yuzhu is the daughter of a criminal official, and if she doesn't accept guests, she will disobey the holy decree, and the Ministry of Rites can't explain it!"
Zhang Erpei heard He Lao Bustard say this and said angrily: "What do you want to do, old bustard? Do you know who that Second Master Ma is just now? That's Ma Cheng, the prince of Zhenguo, if he thinks of this Qi Yuzhu in the future, he will come to find that he has become a ruined willow and a remnant flower, can you take on it as an old bustard? β
Ma Cheng's reputation in Nanjing can completely stop children crying at night, Nanjing citizens have experienced several wars, and know that Ma Cheng is a murderous demon king, He Lao Bustard quickly assured after hearing this: "It turned out to be the prince of Zhenguo, please rest assured that Master Zhang, the old slave must arrange Qi Yuzhu well!" β
Zhang Erpei went away after hearing the satisfaction, He Laobuar took someone into the house to put on Qi Meiyu's clothes, at this time she didn't dare to provoke Qi Meiyu, respectfully invited Qi Meiyu to the backyard, arranged an independent small courtyard to live, and at the same time was afraid that Qi Meiyu would drug herself in front of Ma Cheng, so she specially brought Qi Meiyu's sister Qi Meijia with her and let the sisters live together.
Although Qi Meiyu was taken away by Ma Cheng for the first time, when she saw her own sister, the two sisters hugged each other and cried, and at the same time sighed at their tragic fate.
Ma Cheng didn't know that his momentary nature had changed the lives of two women, and he returned home contentedly and continued to start the life of an otaku.
On March 15 of the fourth year of Shaowu in the Ming Dynasty, the first township test of the small court in Nanjing was officially held. According to the rules of the imperial examination, there are three township examinations, each of which lasts for three days, and then the results are released on the tenth day. On the fifth day of the first month of April, there was a sea of people in front of the Nanjing Gongyuan, and the students came here early to wait for the release of the township test.
